I started making Pie Bird blocks back in November. My goal is 35 ten inch blocks. I finished 5 blocks in November and then decided to work on the remaining 30 blocks all at one time. That is so I can process my scraps and cut all pieces for each round of every block.
Two more rounds to go!
And sew on...
Oh Scrap! At Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Finished a book! The Bookseller of Kathmandu by Ann Bennett. I was expecting historical fiction but I think it was more of a mystery and love story. I still liked the book.

I was a lucky girl this week. I received a box of scrappy goodness (and yummy sesame seed cookies) from Donna and a box with some yardage, quilt "seeds" with lots of potential and a beautiful handmade card from Linda.

My husband John is the oldest of eight siblings. Two of his brothers passed away a few years ago. His sister, the youngest, is now in hospice. She has been battling lung cancer metastatic to brain. Although John has a lot of health issues I am thankful he fought his battle with oropharyngeal cancer many years ago and I still enjoy his company.

You have been busy, Cathy! These are such colorful and fun blocks. How wonderful to get a box full of fabric goodies! So sorry about John's sister. (((hugs)))
Love the scrappy, humble, cheerful look of the pie birds. I’m sorry about your SIL (fairly young, if you and John are the same age). Do they live close by so you can visit?
Those blocks are so darn happy and cheerful!! And a huge yes to being thankful and grateful for every day each of our loved ones share.
So cute —embroidery & quilt blocks. Merry Christmas!
